The Topics Every Medical Physicist Should Know Tutorials in
Radiotherapy Physics: Advanced Topics with Problems and Solutions
covers selected advanced topics that are not thoroughly discussed
in any of the standard medical physics texts. The book brings
together material from a large variety of sources, avoiding the
need for you to search through and digest the vast research
literature. The topics are mathematically developed from first
principles using consistent notation. Clear Derivations and
In-Depth Explanations The book offers insight into the physics of
electron acceleration in linear accelerators and presents an
introduction to the study of proton therapy. It then describes the
predominant method of clinical photon dose computation: convolution
and superposition dose calculation algorithms. It also discusses
the Boltzmann transport equation, a potentially fast and accurate
method of dose calculation that is an alternative to the Monte
Carlo method. This discussion considers Fermi Eyges theory, which
is widely used for electron dose calculations. The book concludes
with a step-by-step mathematical development of tumor control and
normal tissue complication probability models. Each chapter
includes problems with solutions given in the back of the book.
Prepares You to Explore Cutting-Edge Research This guide provides
you with the foundation to read review articles on the topics. It
can be used for self-study, in graduate medical physics and physics
residency programs, or in vendor training for linacs and treatment
planning systems.
